They say a woman is the fall of man. And rightfully so…Women have claimed the lives of many a great men since Adam was deceived by Eve to have a bite of the forbidden fruit. And who can forget the tale of he who was said to be the strongest man to ever walk the face of the earth – Samson. Enter Ghengis Khan, the great conqueror of civilizations in the thirteenth century.
Ghengis-Khan Ghengis Khan had an insatiable appetite for women. He chose from women of the highest rank. He liked them with small noses, red lips, rounded hips, long silky hair and melodious voices. If after a conquest he found some not fitting his bill, he is said to have sent them to his officers’ tents. His commanders believed that he had godly powers because he would ravish several women in the same night.
It is said that Ghengis Khan, original name Temujin, fathered more children than anyone anyone else in history. This is according to findings of the geneticists who found 16 million people to be sharing the identical gene of that one great warrior. This is a topic for another day though.
It was on August 18, 1227, during a campaign against the Tangut people of northwestern China, that Ghengis Khan died. The reason for his death is uncertain. Many assume he fell off his horse, due to old age and physical fatigue; others allege he was killed by the Tangut. There are persistent folktales that a Tangut princess, to avenge her people and prevent her rape, castrated him with a hidden knife and that he never recovered. Whatever the cause, his legacy was astonishing.
